Russian martial artist Khabib Nurmagomedov announced himself on the world stage as he defeated Connor McGregor via submission at UFC 229. Having dominated the Irishman inside the Octagon, McGregor then went on to challenge the retired 50-0 king Floyd Mayweather next. The proposal has enticed Mayweather too, who has asked the Nurmagomedov to come to his world for a fight.

Mayweather, who last fought McGregor, told TMZ about the proposal from Khabib: "Oh, we fighting. He called me out. So, he gotta come to my world. I'm my own boss. So, I can't say what's going on on Khabib's end. But, on my end, we can make it happen. When I face Khabib I'm getting a nine-figure payday. It's more than the McGregor fight. Probably $100m more, guaranteed. I'm going to say somewhere between $110m and $200m guaranteed."

Considering the fight happens, even if Mayweather's prediction is that he would go on to make around $150 million which would be about the double of what he made in the fight against McGregor.

"50 and 0 verses 27 and 0, two guys that never lose. Let’s go, why not. Because in the jungle only one king, only one king. Before Khabib - who has been suspended by the UFC - added: "Of course I am the king. Because he [Mayweather] can not drop McGregor but I drop him easily, Nurmagomedov had said while challenging Mayweather.

In terms of the money matters, Khabib wouldn't be the happiest man right now as his purse from the McGregor fight is still withheld by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after he decided to jump over the cage to attack someone from McGregor's team after beating the Irishman inside the ring.

Over the possibility of getting the Mayweather fight done in Vegas, Nurmagomedov has shown no interest as his due money from the fight against Connor hasn't been paid yet.

Mayweather also had a message for the 27-0 man on the same subject as he said: "Vegas is the fighting capital and after the fight you have to conduct yourself like a true professional, not just in the ring, but outside the ring also."

Some reports from the MMA world also claim that Khabib is actually interested in taking on Tony Ferguson next and then announce retirement.
